Window mastic in Aberlour, done properly
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include rushed sealant from a window installation and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, on timber windows & doors, window sills and composite doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Aberlour depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Check the mastic once a year
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In a place like Aberlour, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.

Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. We use a neutral-cure product.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberlour
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aberlour homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Aberlour, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Aberlour is about 12 miles south of Elgin, in Moray. Jobs in Aberlour get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Aberlour
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
In the older streets around St Margaret's Episcopal Church and Burial Ground, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Your questions about window mastic in Aberlour
Is Aberlour within the area you cover?
Yes. Aberlour is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Aberlour?
All our work, in Aberlour and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Aberlour?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
